Can I return AirPod 5s without the paper inserts?

I bought the AirPod 5s a couple days ago, but due to the fit I'm looking to return them. I have the box and the AirPods + case, I'm just missing the small paper inserts that came with the box. Would that be an issue for returning?

I guess the paper inserts are not an essential part. Did you buy your AirPods online or at an Authorised Apple Reseller?

I ordered them online from Target and picked them up in store.
